Birding on the west coast of Sweden

Sunday, September 14, 2008 - More Padjelanta stuff

Posted in Travel

Perhaps posting the stuff from my summer trip as soon as I get it ready is the way to go. Here's a couple of new items.

A singing Brambling (Fringilla montifringilla) outside Jokkmokk. Filmed with digital compact camera through handheld binocular.

Singing Ring Ouzel (Turdus torquatus) near Staloluokta, Padjelanta

Staloluokta is the name of the Sami village where we had our base camp. The Ring Ouzels could be heard singing high up on the mountainside from there. The clip shown here was shot during our first day of surveying the birch forest.

Bluethroat (Luscinia svecica)

About Me

26 year old birder from Gothenburg, Sweden. My goal for 2007 was get above 200 life-ticks. I managed 215 and the goal for 2008 was to get to 250. Right now it looks like I might get to 250 year ticks which is of course even better.
